Collection: Watches & Pocket Watches

The history of pocket watches is intriguing, as it shows how they transitioned from being a luxury item for the wealthy to a necessary accessory for the lower classes over time. The first mention of pocket watches can be traced back to communication between artisans and aristocrats in the fifteenth century, suggesting that a primitive form of the pocket watch may have been worn around the neck, instead of on a pocket watch chain, such as an Albert T Bar chain.
